If you are in Lawrenceville, my mom and Joan will have some that you could buy from them.

If you have a store or something and you want to put some in there – again just let me know where to send and how many.

Thank you to all that are helping to support Gunner’s Magic Train to continue chugging along. My hope is that his train will still move a mountain!

I am sad to say that there is one small typo in the cards. If you ordered Gunner’s train cards, we are in the process of getting new ones printed. I emailed the company but with the holidays I have to wait to hear from her on Friday. If you don’t mind the small error then I can send them out tomorrow. Otherwise, it might not be until Monday. There is an “of” missing at the very end.

Thanks for your patience and your help in this matter.

Wow – a busy busy weekend. I put outside lights up in the front yard. I still need to do a little more and then I need to do the back. We live by the park and so the back of our house faces the drive into the park. There are lots of visitors in the park because we have quite the decorations in the park. I have always decorated the back yard so people driving into the park can see our lights. I am loving the blue lights. I just thought of Gunner so much putting up the lights. I just wondered why I have never done blue lights before since Gunner’s favorite color was blue. I would have thought that he would have asked me to do that but he never did.

G just loved Christmas and it was not just about Santa Clause and presents. He truly loved the whole process of Christmas. The decorating, shopping, watching Christmas specials, wrapping presents, Santa Clause and Baby Jesus’ Birthday! I miss him so much but Gus and I have talked about how we have a sense of being closer to him by putting up all the Christmas. There were times today that I just wanted to quit but Garlynn was so excited and she so badly wanted to get the ornaments on the tree. Garlynn and I picked out a new tree for this year. Gunner was so worried that the tree that we had last year and for the last 12 years was not going to make it another year. He figured all the green was going to be off of it. We had planned to buy a new one and Gunner was going to pick it out but since he is not here with us I let Garlynn go and take over that job. I let her pick it out all by herself and she did a great job. Gus and I really like having a bigger tree. The one we had was a pencil thin because it was the one we got living in an apartment. This one is a pre-light. I bought a stand that makes the tree revolve and I know that would have fired Gunner up as well. Garlynn has been great help as she put on almost all of the ornaments herself.

Today absolutely stunk but we got through it. November 30 was the day we found out that Gunner had a mass on his brainstem. I did not realize that today would bring such emotions out of me. I cried as I sang songs that I have always sang to Gunner. I look at his pictures and I see such a beautiful young boy and it pains me that he could not continue to serve the Lord on Earth. I want to feel his touch. I want to hold his hand and I want to squeeze him so tight. Between Gus and I we could tell you just about what exactly happened on the 30^th and the 1st. December 1 was when we found out exactly what we were dealing with ….DIPG! My emotions were so raw all day and there were times when I felt sick to my stomach. It almost felt just like it did one year ago. I felt like I was still living in that nightmare. I had such nervous energy and at times I think I was having a panic attack. My heaviness is there in my chest again and in fact at times I have felt pain there today just as it did one year ago. It hurts to take the deep breaths.

It was good to see Garlynn. She has been gone since Wednesday. She had a great time but she missed her doggies and they missed her. They would not leave her alone for some time jumping all over and giving her kisses.

We were sitting on her new bean bag with the dogs. Anyways, she was talking about how all my babies were right there with me. Then she said well you are missing one. As she thought for a moment, then she told me that I was not really missing one because he was right there (She said that after she pointed towards my heart). She told me that I would always have him with me right there. What a precious and smart girl.

The

The Christmas card sales are going well. I have had to order more. Please be sure to email me if you have not done so.

Thanks
